Jahida, quote a direct definition from a book to prevent plagiarism.
When you talk about a mixed family, are you just talking about race or are you talking about other things as well? When you are describing the diversity of a place, you would say "it is diverse." Watch your use of question marks. Did you mean to say everyone from Newark is from the same culture?
I am talking about other things as well. No, i ment to say everyone from newark is not from the same culture.
